Ending employment properly: the basics for both sides
Notice, severance by length of service and the paperwork that reduces disputes.
A dismissal affects both sides. Following the legal steps prevents most disputes.
Notice
Usually notice must follow the pay cycle, or pay can be given in lieu.
Severance
The Labour Protection Act sets severance by length of service, unless a legal exception applies. Check the current rates before calculating.
Paperwork
A termination letter should state the reason and effective date. Employees shouldn't sign anything they don't understand.
